A tank can capture your attention. The story of the people who served inside it can stay with you long after you leave.
Step inside. Discover the people behind the vehicles.
The outdoor displays are only a first glimpse. Inside the National Museum of Military Vehicles, expansive indoor galleries bring stories of service, courage, and sacrifice to life through restored vehicles, historic artifacts, immersive scenes, and personal accounts. Exhibits explore World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, connecting military history with the lives of those who experienced it.
For veterans and military families, a visit can carry a deeply personal meaning. At Windhaven, we have spoken with veteran guests who returned visibly moved—not simply by what they saw, but by the people and experiences those exhibits brought to mind.
Whether you served, have a loved one who did, or want to share this history with your children or grandchildren, give yourself time to take it in.

A world-class collection with a local beginning
Founded by Dan and Cynthia Starks, the museum grew from a private collection into a major destination in Dubois. The museum describes its collection as the world’s largest private collection of U.S. military vehicles on public display.
For visitors traveling across the United States, this is a reason to put Dubois on the itinerary—not just pass through on the way somewhere else. Read how the museum began.
“Do not miss the National Museum of Military Vehicles—it is truly incredible and worth making time for.”
— Stephen K., Windhaven guest, Google review
